You, you try,
you try to get by.
"You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try"
"You're a wet cigarette",
"You're always second best",
but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves.
You fight for them to realize; there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye.
And when you're done,
the battle's been won.
You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum:
....12341234....
The years go by,
the time it does fly.
Every single second is a moment in time
that passes oh, so quick
and it seems like nothing,
but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything.
I've got myself. I've got my friends. I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends.
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone.
It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun.
....12341234....
Look around little brother, Can you tell me what you see?
You're a big boy now, so take responsibility.
You never had it hard, but now it's getting tough,
so you whine, whine, whine and you say you've had enough.
You say i'm full of shit
That i'm a hypocrite
I shouldn't talk, when i can't take the advice that i give?
Well maybe you're right, but open your eyes:
the main difference here is that i try, try,
you try to get by.

the pure ENERGY of this song live... it's so emotional... hearing it in concert, after an exhausting night of skanking... what a way to end a show.
this is one of the best songs from one of the best bands...
such a goooooooooooood fucking song you should hear it live
Way to end an album, this is like an outro, with props to everyone who helped on the album, mixed intot he song. The song is amazing in itself, starting out soft then getting harder as the lyrics change pace.
tough times...tough times, but good times.
gr8 song
